This Ninety Nine comes from Melbourne Australia and was the brain child of former Vivian Girl Amy Clarke with Baseball founder Cameron Potts, also from Melbourne. Right off the top I have to say that I have never heard a more compelling mix of xylophone, vibraphone and Casio keyboards, and yes, that is a compliment. The sound of Ninety Nine will take you back to the early 90s when the mixing of eclectic and diverse sounds was original and exciting with the hint of great things to come; a time when you jammed on the easily listenable tunes of Republica and Elastica. The album starts off as a hard rocking affair but it gets a little more experimental as it rolls along. Clarke and Laura MacFarlane trade lead vocals back and forth throughout, with MacFarlane carrying most of the disc, but truthfully I found only a subtle difference between the two women. Even at that though, Ninety Nine is so solid and in-tune with their own style that even a polite slip in the uniformity of their sound would be glaring in notice. This is a pitch-perfect music experience that is never boring and never the same.
